Orlando Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy has made it pretty clear what he expects to accomplish in the final 24 games of the season. And he wants to do more than just maintain the No. 3 playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. He wants to use the games as playoff preparation. "We've got to get tougher in the physical parts of the game over the next 7 1/2 weeks,'' Van Gundy said. "A lot of that is defensively, how we play in the post, putting a body in front of the ball, taking charges, blocking out, getting on the floor for loose balls, all things we haven't been great at. The better teams we'll see [in the playoffs] are more physical. And we have to match those things.''
